jacksy Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 We could go back to the Premiership trophy playoffs? We used to get good crowds for that. Rugby Union the only game in the world were the spectators handle the ball more than the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't win under pressure in the play-offs then you don't deserve to be champion. 6 Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

Old Frightful Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I think Harry Smith needs his hair ruffling after missing that conversion. 1 "When I saw the Pistols and The Clash I realised it didn't seem that difficult, they didn't seem like they could play very well either, so the thing was to form a band then work it out. We didn't even know who was going to play what - we passed around all the instruments until we found what we were comfortable with. I wasn't comfortable with any of them so I became the singer."

Damien Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I said before the game that Cust was a huge loss. He has really made the team tick. O'Neill should have never lost his place for Powell either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyscoot Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 No issues with a play off system. Wigan were rewarded for their higher position with a home game against an in theory weaker team and they couldn't win the game. That's fair enough to me. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
